    1 THE 1950 PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1950 ASSUMPTION HIGH SCHOOL WORCESTER, MASS. Graduation seemed insuperably distant that Sep- tember day in 1946 when a bewildered mid-century graduating class first assembled. However, that long- awaited day fast drew near, each fleeting second leaving in its wake a host of memories, fond remembrances, and unforgettable souvenirs. Now it is upon us, and soon each of us will depart into a world of vast horizons, but there will always remain an unbreakable bond between each member of our class. For if forgetfulness takes its toll, may our yearbook in years to come fan the dying embers and bring forth the reminiscences which were so much a part of our lives. Yes, ffMetnini,” I remember. / • cue tit Oui, souvenez-vous de votre heritage. CATHOLIQUES: soyez-le toujours, franchement et integralement dans votre vie personnelle, dans votre vie sociale.

  • Atlanta: "The City Too Busy to Hate", the Socioeconomic Compromise That Stunned the South
    Atlanta: "The City too Busy to Hate", the Socioeconomic Compromise that Stunned the South Malik Hubbard, Ke’Von Singleton Senior Division Group Documentary Process Paper: 494 The Civil Rights Movement is a time commonly characterized by bold marches, brave sit-ins, and fiery court battles. However, the economic battles waged between America’s elite and Civil Right activists were also pivotal to transforming the Civil Rights Movement from a hopeful idea into a national phenomenon. The unprecedented compromise between Mayor Ivan Allen Jr., Coca-Cola Industries, and the elite of Atlanta, exemplifies the ingenuity of Atlanta’s business sector, not only to attract international business but to also facilitate social justice. As Atlanta’s leading political, business, and religious leaders gathered to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.’s Nobel Peace Prize, they demonstrated to the nation and world that racial disputes could not only be circumvented, but also mitigated by skillful negotiation. With a theme of “Conflict and Compromise,” civil rights seemed a natural fit. While we wanted to avoid big names, Martin Luther King's’ ability to negotiate and compromise couldn’t be ignored. As we investigated the controversy around business leaders’ refusal to celebrate Dr. King’s Nobel prize achievement, we were inspired to investigate the economic and moral underpinnings of Coca-Cola’s ultimatum to the Atlanta’s business leaders. We knew from the beginning of our research that no medium other than a documentary could do our topic justice. The plethora of characters and places within our recounting of the event made it a necessity to display it all in a documentary format.

  • 2011 Annual Report of the Georgia Historical Society Fiscal Year 2011
    Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Report of the Georgia Historical Society Fiscal Year 2011 INTRODUCTION W. Todd Groce, PhD President and Chief Executive Officer Fiscal Year 2011 (July 1, 2010-June 30, 2011) was a banner one for the Georgia Historical Society. Due to the launch of a capital and capacity building campaign the institution enjoyed its most prosperous year in nearly 175 years of continuous operation. As evidence of this, GHS raised a record $5 million for educational programming, archival services, capital projects and endowment. The endowment continued to rebound, and at the end of the fiscal year reached $6.54 million, close to its pre-recession level. Total assets grew from $7,382,181 in FY10 to $13,476,604 at the end of FY11, an increase of 82.5 percent. This healthy bottom line was due in part to careful financial management, dynamic board leadership, a recovering stock market, and the creation of two new endowment funds: the Dr. Henry Sauls Fund, established by a gift of $25,000 from John and Laura Wallace; and the Allan Gaynor Fund, established by an initial bequest of $300,000 from Alan Gaynor, a long-time supporter of GHS. The primary reason, however, for the significant increase in the Society’s net assets was the acquisition in June 2011 of the property at 104 West Gaston Street in Savannah for development as the Jepson House Education Center. Named in honor of philanthropists and higher education champions Robert and Alice Jepson, this is the first physical expansion of the Georgia Historical Society in forty years.

  • NEW YORK PRODUCT LIABILITY DECISIONS in SQUIB FORM-2002 to DATE A
    NEW YORK PRODUCT LIABILITY DECISIONS IN SQUIB FORM-2002 TO DATE a. What is this program? On an annual basis our firm has outlined all of the New York product liability decisions it could find from both state and federal courts. This is done for the Days of Decisions programs for the New York State Trial Lawyers Institute (September presentations). We have assembled here all of the case squibs we have done since 2002; currently 13 years’ worth of outlines. So far there are approximately 525 cases included. The usual format for a case is to give the cite, set forth the facts, and then give the holding. The cases have been arranged as they have been categorized in the annual format. See the table of contents at the start of this program for the topics. Within a topic, the cases generally run backward in time from the most recent ones. Over the years the annual format changed somewhat; these changes show up when we melded the cases on the same topic from various years. Further, copying problems created some discontinuities or rough spots, but we believe that the assemblage will prove useful. It goes without saying that you should read the case fully and check its status, as appeals may have been taken. b. How to use. Because this is such a massive program, one way to access is to search within it for the subject you want, or by case name. Another method is to locate the specific topic in the Table of Contents. Since for the most part, a case is placed only once, there may be multiple topics which the squib covers.
